Thanks! So yeah I have a huge tip for painting stripes. Here it goes....

Choose your colors. Say you want to paint white stripes on a blue wall, paint the whole wall the lighter of the two colors first, so in this case white. Once it's dry, measure out your stripes and use a laser level. As they say, measure twice cut once, in this case measure twice paint once lol. If you don't have a laser level, buy one, it's worth the investment for projects like this, and they're pretty cheap now-a-days. Mask off your stripe lines with the usual blue painters tape. Now here's the big tip. Paint the edges of the taped off area that you want to be blue with the white paint again. You don't have to paint the entire area you want blue with the white paint, just the edges of the tape. What this does is seals the edge of the tape with the lighter background color, in this case white, so after you let it dry and put the blue paint on it can't seep underneath the tape since it's sealed with the white paint. It works amazingly well and you get super crisp lines. Let everything dry and then slowly pull the tape off -- and I stress SLOWLY -- then use a small brush to touch up any areas that aren't perfect, which is going to happen no matter how careful you are with the taping/sealing.

I hope that make sense. Let me know if you have any questions at all.
